Ricardian Contracts

These are the value-describing contracts to which the
legal issuer of the instrument binds himself to. The
distribution of these contracts is mostly undefined
(it is Ivan's problem);
here, we've collected the ones we know about.

Ivan is an issuer of digital instruments,
either person who signs the Ricardian contract, or
the server that manages the issue, depending on
the context.

Matilda is an independant market maker or
merchant who buys and sells. As she performs an
important role in both the overall financial system
architecture, and as she uses distinct retail
protocols, she deserves a persona all to herself.
